A Remedy for Diphtheria.

Very considerable interest has been excited In
foreign medical circles by NJ. Broadel's sue
cesstul treatment of diptheria by the use of
benZoate OF ofsodium. He asserts that of zoo
consecutive cases he has not lost single one,
and, though admitting the possibility ofa mis-
taken diagnosis I'm some instances, yet, even
excluding 10 per cent, on this account, there
remain 100 cases without q death. His method
is TO have the patient inke. every hour, q
um, fifteen grains TO the ounce, and at the
same time One-sixth OF a grain Of sulphide OF
calcium in syrup or granule; in addition to
this the throat Is thoroughly sprayed every
unfnilingly at the regular intervals, day and
night, with no other local treatment whatever
No attempt Is made to disIodge the false
mbmbrane. The nourishment consists OF beei
juice, tender meat. milk, etc., but bread and
all other articles which may cause irritation
Of the throat are forbidden.-NeW York Trib

A Good Farmer.

Mr.. julius J. Clamp, OF Due West township,
was in town last Monday on business. He Is
one of the successful young farmers OF Abbe-
willie county. He made with one horse TINS
wear ten bmies Of cotton. and all the corn and
wheat that he and his horse can eat mex,
wear. If we had many such farmers as Mr..
Clamp this country would be prosperous, no
matter whether we get amy more railroads Or
build factories. We will thank somebody
to explain why other farmers make only
three or four bales OF cotton to the horse, and
have to give lien for their corn and flour
next year. This is Mr.. Clamps third year at
farming. The first year he made seven pales,
the second, nine, the third, ten.

OBITUARY..

On the 5th of October, of typhoid fever, after
a brief Illness, Of n few days, B. Newton Mat
tis0n passed calmly to his eternal home.
Newton was but26 years old, and the young
est son of a widowed mother. He was youth
OF more than ordinary promise, gentle and
kind In his disposition, polite and manly in
his bearing, and unfiinching in his moral
principles. \ model of gentlemanly deport-
ment, and n recognized example TO ali his
companion. Seldom has one so young estab-
lshed such character for unswerving integ.
rity. And seldom does the death of SO young
II person produce such profound impression
upon community. 1t required no eulosy at
his grave To inform the community OF his vIr-
tues. That they knew and appreciated him,
was evinced by the large congregation OF peo.
Pile thet assembled at his funeral, TO pay their
last tribute Of respect to his memory. Brief
and unpretending as his life had been IL has
left an impression for good upon his compan-
ions, which we hope will bear fruit for many
days TO come. Heavy as this bereavement Is
to his afflicted mother, yet there is a silver
lining to the cloud. the contemplation of
which brings peace and comfort to the wound
ed heart. that could come from no other
source. Though to her the loss Is irreparable
yet she can bear 1t with tranquility under the
assurance that her loss is his infinite gain,
and that he has been taken from the cares and
troubles Of this life, to the peaceful and eter-
nal rest OF his heavenly home.
